Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Important British Paintings, which included the work Portrait Of Jane 'Jenny' Myddelton, Mrs May (1661-1740) As A Shepherdess by Henri Gascars. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,220.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Henri Gascars have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of Jacques De Goyon Iii (1644-1725), Sire De Matignon, Comte De Thorigny, Lieutenant Général Des Armées in January 2017 with an auction result of USD 150,000.00 (€ 138,966.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Important British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Jane 'Jenny' Myddelton, Mrs May (1661-1740) As A Shepherdess von Henri Gascars zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 14.220,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henri Gascars auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of Jacques De Goyon Iii (1644-1725), Sire De Matignon, Comte De Thorigny, Lieutenant Général Des Armées im Januar 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 150.000,00 (€ 138.966,09).
